Who: Me, Amanda. A politics and history double major at Washington and Lee University with perhaps to much hatred for the word inevitable...A love for thunderstorms, an interest in the Middle East, and a massive craving at this moment for a proper English tea...
What: A blog about International Political Economy and the things related (or somewhat related...) to that topic. What, you may ask, is International Political Economy (IPE)? - I'm glad you asked- because I to would like to know. For now lets say its how the interaction of and situations within nations effect the global economy, political landscape, and each other, and generally how the economy and politics mutually affect one another. If you'll work with me with that for now maybe sometime in the next few months we can find a better answer...
When: The fall of 2014- so now. I'm going to be writing about what I'm learning, thinking, and seeing in the world in real time- exciting right?
Where: Here! On this blog- and in conversation with my classmates whose blogs I will refer and respond to. (Sidenote: To anyone who may be reading this and not taking IPE- my classmates are actually kind of brilliant so you might want to check them out...)
Why: Because my professor said so. Because discussions are cool and exciting and I actually enjoy them. Because the internet exists and on a meta level we can talk about the worldwide economy of ideas created/facilitated by the internet by participating in the worldwide economy of ideas on the internet. Because stuff happens in the world that is crazy, and interesting, and amazing, and tragic, and all the other adjectives that just needs to be talked about. And because I can.
